nathan morse Filmmakers Don Argott and Demian Fenton spent years with Pentagram frontman, Bobby Liebling , documenting the profligate rock god as he shot up, smoked rock, ran his mouth, shared his record stash, and struggled to escape a decades-long addiction that left him nearing early death in the "sub-basement" of his parents' home. Alternately big-hearted and beastly, Liebling tells the Philly-based filmmakers that "I ain't done no record, in my opinion, that hasn't kicked ass." There's not a single person in their new film, Last Days Here, who would disagree. Argott and [...]

Download: Sir Lord Baltimore - Helium Head (I Got A Love) Sirs, Lords, knights of the realm couldn't muster a sound further away from the proto-metal thunder Sir Lord Baltimore are said to have pioneered. Perhaps we could chuck 'em in with Blue Cheer and Tiger B. Smith for being 'godfathers' of greasy 'don't take those long hairs to see your mama' armadillo trousered thrusting, shooting from the disease ridden fuck stick rock. This is rock at it's most don't give a fuck, perhaps that has been [...]

Hey, it's Friday. Do you know what that means? I'm just beginning my work week, which is about the worst thought imaginable. Actually, that's not true, as I think I recently compiled a top ten list ranking some of the "worst things". Actually, it was ten horrible things that could happen to you ...but you get the idea. I probably shouldn't slag off about my work considering the hours are cushy and the environment is relatively stress-free. Just today someone walked up to me and handed me four free tickets to a screening of Burn After Reading next Thursday [...]
"Apparently all the talent in The Pink Floyd was in the word 'the.' Who could have ever predicted that?" -- Tom on the creative juice concentrated in the band's crucial article "Well, you know, he puts you in a trance and basically he makes you do stuff -- stuff you'd never do of your own coalition." -- Bryce Prefontaine, explaining the act of an erotic hypnotist "Of course the ones the kids get, they'll be really small.
